I think everyone should know by now that this series has been going on pretty long now. And the shows don't really seem very good. But pokemon the diamond and pearl games make up for it. As usual there are different pokemon in each game. They also made some updates. First and most obvious is the graphics. Each pokemon game before this had basic 2-d graphics and it looked good, but now the new graphics are amazing. Everything is 3-D, buildings your character, other people, the trees, and everything else is 3-D that they should have. Not only that, but there is much more pokemon which makes the game harder, but more fun. First you have to SEE all 150 sinnoh pokemon, which is not all that hard, but then once you do that, you have to catch all 462 (i think thats how many there are) pokemon. They also added a place called palpark, which is south of sandgem by surfing then east. If you have one of the older games, you can bring those pokemon to either diamond or pearl using palpark. You have to have seen all 150 sinnoh pokemon to do this. You then get park balls that are like master balls to catch the pokemon. This helps out a lot. But a small way to make money and to get another pokemon (2 if you have both diamond and pearl) is by going to the underground. To go there you have to speak to the old man is eterna city to the east of the galactic building. He will give you a tutorial on how to do digging, make a base, even to go down there. When your there you can dig up spheres to trade with the hikers down there for traps(for outside), and stuff for your base. But when you get to your base, you should notice that you have tons of big boulders around your base. The way to get rid of these and in turn put in more goods, you have to have a friend and steal their flag. You will be able to learn more if you talk to others around the old mans house. So, if you either just got a DS, or your a pokemon fan but don't know if you will like it, get and should probably be one of your favorite games for DS.
